Re: \\\Because the blitheringly dumb kids I come across in all walks of life these days definitely aren't///.....

".......There has always been some blitheringly dumb kids so I guess you never noticed this till you got older?"

Stupidity is the oldest profession.

"I don’t doubt your observations for one moment but as far as I know there are more super-successful under thirties than there ever has been."

There is a strange elasticity in your reasoning when you include adults in what's being discussed. I didn't realize that someone age, say, 28 is now a kid. But ok, let's bring them in too.

"I see nothing wrong with ipods and the argument that kids should wait till they get home to listen to music is ludicrous."

Ludicrous....well if you are of the "all-or-nothing" school of thought, I suppose that would be the word. Here is another word:

Balance.

As in: is there no middle ground between not listening at all and having two earbuds jammed in your ears from the breakfast table on, and throughout much of the day?
Personally, I think there is, if for no other reason than by the time they become the young achievers you reference, they will be, if not deaf as posts, most likely without a goodly amount of high-frequency hearing ability.

"Maybe you think all of us middle-aged old farts should never turn the radio on in the car and wait till we get home to our lounge rooms to listen to music?"
I think you know how that statement sounds without me adding anything to it.

"...and certainly better company than the folks who as they get older fall into the “doom & gloom brigade”
Doom and gloom, unfortunately, isn't always just imaginary. Granted, some folks do like to live in it. I presume you are trying to suggest that I do.
